Bioscience

Part of a strong and growing Midwest cluster, Kankakee County's bioscience sector has boomed in recent years. With the steady presence of EMD Millipore and one of the nation's largest industrial expansions taking place at CSL Behring, our bioscience sector today represents a location quotient of more than 1.5 times the concentration of employment compared to the national average.*

Australia-based CSL Behring - a global leader in the production of plasma protein therepeutics and the flu vaccine - has in recent years invested more than $500 million at its Kankakee site. The facility now exceeds 1 million square feet and employs more than 1,200 people.

Like all of our industries, the Economic Alliance works closely with CSL Behring to ensure that the company's ambitious goals for growth can be met now and into the future in Kankakee.
